four large margins, light cancel, couple trivial thins, extremely fine appearance, one of the most attractive of the few recorded examples of this stamp (Scott $12,000)
Provenance: Alfred H. Caspary (H.R. Harmer Sale 989, 1956)
(Alexander S. Kirkman Sale 1423, 1962)
essentially four margins with portion of adjacent stamp at right, tied by black "Paid" handstamp to folded letter (blue lined paper), additional red pen cancel, endorsed "O.B." and addressed to Captain William Headen in Corpus Christi, Texas, contents dated August 18, 1864, very fine, by far the finer of the two examples of the 10c "Goilad" error on cover and in our opinion one of the most desirable items of Confederate States postal history (Scott $30,000)
